Variety is the spice of life, after all, and if the spice kills me a little sooner then at least I will have died happy. I hate coffee, so I drink juices to have any variety in my fluids.

I've battled with my weight pretty much my entire life - always been 20-40 pounds overweight. While to some extent I think everyone has a "natural" weight they settle into (natural for the abundant food and sedentary lifestyle of 21st century life), I'm doing much better now just by following three rules: 1. Soda is a dessert, not a drink. Actually, a lot of juices are really sugary, too. I mostly just drink water nowadays, with milk/tea/coffee thrown in every now and then. 2. You can eat almost anything that's "unhealthy" as long as it's less than once a week (Monday = BBQ rib day, for instance). 3. Exercise can actually *overstimulate* hunger. It's no good to run a couple miles and then eat twice as much. Now I focus on light stuff like walking around and playing sports with my family instead of intense gym workouts. Helps to avoid that manic post-exercise hunger. Good luck with the diet. I’ve battled with my weight pretty much my entire life – always been 20-40 pounds overweight.
